The Heritage Landing Condominium Association has been sued after a homeowner fell into a loose manhole cover.
Mike Mallen and his wife, Elizabeth, are also suing Community Management Associates, Chase Plumbing and Mechanical, Sikes Services and City Green Services.
The suit says on the morning of Oct. 9, 2014, Mr. Mallen was walking his dogs to the prescribed "relief area" for pet owners on the property. He was walking back when he stepped his right foot on the cover of a stormwater manhole and fell into the manhole.
He landed on his right hip and tailbone and hurt his hand while trying to catch himself, the suit says.
Mr. Mallen said he suffered a number of painful and decapacitating injuries in the fall.
The Circuit Court suit, filed by attorney Jim McKoon, says the proper size cover was not on the manhole.
The suit asks $1.6 million for Mr. Mallen and $100,000 for his wife, plus punitive damages.
